Turkish term or phrase: Aksantonik
Şakrak kızlardı. Her taraflarında bir kenar mahalle kokusu vardı. Lehçeleri derli toplu, aksantonikliydi. İki arkadaştılar. Güneşten yanmışlardı, dirseklerinin yukarısında sıkılmış yaz kostümlerinin içinde buram buram terli aşk ve güneş fışkırtıyorlardı.

  -> Size katılıyorum ama bahsettiğiniz gibi "aksan"ı "accent" ile ve "tonik"i de "tonic" ile eşdeğer düşünsek yazarın amacı "tonic accent" terimi de olabilir.
